Multiple trunks: Prune to one central leader; root competition harms the plant. Don't trim the tip.
Repotting: Use homemade mix: equal parts humus/compost, coarse sand, perlite + ½ part composted manure. Avoid moisture-retention granules. Pot up 1–2 sizes larger.
Humidity: Set pot on pebble tray with water, or group with other plants. Aim for 40–50% humidity. Bright light, rotate every few days.
Watering: Water thoroughly when top 2 inches dry. Remove marbles from pot bottom (roots hate abrupt media changes).
Fertilizer: Feed older plants every 3–4 months, new/repotted every 4–6 months. Use kelp/molasses/willow tea recipe.
